Question

I have a Socket communication in my Windows Phone app, but when I call it I can sometimes get a result, that looks like this

\0\0\0\0<RESULT><DATA>...</DATA></RESULT>\0 

I want to remove the start and the end of it so I only get the XML, but what is the best way to do it?
I have thought about Regex, but I can not make it work 🙁

I have not enough information to answer you correctly, so I will suggest the following :

You should try to map the data you are receiving from your socket to a serializable class.
And then you serialize the classObject to an XML document.

public class socketDataToMap
{
    public string Data {get; set;}
}

and then

var ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(socketDataToMap));
using (var reader = XmlReader.Create(yourSocketStream))
            {
                var deserializedObject = ser.Deserialize(reader) as socketDataToMap;

            }

and then you serialize to an XML file. I see something like this for your problem.
